Re: Safeway Clearance Deals

(I mean, you gotta be stupid to deal with stupid...)
i just smiled and acted surprised, "wow, that sounds like a new policy, wow didn't know that. can we check with a manager just to make sure?"
at that point, she just grumbled and put the coupon through manually.
see she can chose the easy way or give me a hard time. i really think some people are just jealous about our couponing superpower... beeep beeep |
